New Blue Gene/Q Express – more affordable, same reliable supercomputer

Introducing the Blue Gene/Q Express, a half rack configuration that is ideal for organizations requiring an entry level supercomputing system. The Blue Gene/Q Express allows your data center to capitalize on the performance and energy efficiency of supercomputing with a system that is cost-effective and is easily upgradable as your workload increases. It comes with a personalized IBM research application porting workshop and attractive IBM financing for faster time to value, optimized cash flow, and reduced total cost of ownership.

Breakthrough science today—not tomorrow

Whether your work involves big data analytics, climate modeling, or life sciences research, you have something in common: you work with huge data sets and need massive computing power without breaking the bank on energy costs. With Blue Gene/Q, completing computationally intensive projects for scientific, research and manufacturing applications that were previously unsolvable is not just possible, it is now probable.

The third generation in the Blue Gene family of supercomputers, Blue Gene/Q works at an order of magnitude faster than previous systems, with 16 cores per node and a scalable peak performance up to 100 petaflops—a massive leap forward in parallel computing power. Applicable to a growing set of computationally intensive workloads for analytics and for the scientific research Blue Gene/Q is the ideal platform for highly complex projects in a broad range of technical disciplines.

An array of technical innovations in hardware, software and system design enables Blue Gene/Q users to achieve new levels of performance and energy efficiency while helping to simplify application portability and usability. By providing speed and bandwidth to keep platforms operating at the forefront of technology, Blue Gene/Q can help you accelerate leading-edge science to transform your scientific and analytic agendas.
